Talk to AlexGrew Up Competing. Trained to Treat.
Alex grew up in the Algarve competing in triathlons alongside his father. He knows what it means to wake up at 5:30am to swim, cycle 90km, and then try to run on destroyed legs. He did not learn that from a textbook.
After completing his Sports Science degree, he went to Sydney, Australia, where he worked in top physiotherapy clinics and became one of very few therapists in Portugal qualified in full-body ART®, spine, upper limbs, and lower limbs.
Today, Alex and his team regularly work with sports teams that use the Algarve as a training camp destination, football, cycling, triathlon, HYROX, and golf. They come to your hotel, training ground, or facility.
Sports We Work With Across the Algarve
Football
Pre-season camps, in-season maintenance, and post-match recovery. We work with squads of all sizes, from youth academies to senior teams. The Algarve is one of Europe's most popular pre-season destinations, and we are here when you arrive.
Cycling & Triathlon
Alex competed in triathlons alongside his father growing up in the Algarve. He understands the demands of multi-sport training from the inside, the hip flexor tightness from long rides, the calf issues from run-to-bike transitions, the shoulder fatigue from open-water swimming. This is not textbook knowledge.
HYROX & Functional Fitness
HYROX has exploded across Europe and the Algarve is no exception. We work with HYROX athletes on the specific demands of the sport, hamstrings, glutes, thoracic spine, and the repetitive loading patterns that cause breakdown over a training block.
Golf
The Algarve has some of Europe's finest golf courses and we treat golfers every week. Rotational sports create very specific imbalances, the lead hip, the trail shoulder, the lumbar spine. Alex has worked with club-level players and touring professionals.
Tennis & Padel
Shoulder impingement, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), and hip tightness are the most common presentations we see from racquet sport athletes. ART® is particularly effective for these conditions because it addresses the soft tissue component that physiotherapy alone often misses.
Running & Athletics
From 5k runners to ultramarathon athletes, we understand the biomechanics of running and where things go wrong. IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, these are conditions we treat regularly and successfully.

Talk to AlexQuestions About Team Massage in the Algarve
How far in advance should I book for a training camp?
For team camps, we recommend booking at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance, especially during pre-season (July to September) when the Algarve is very busy. For larger groups of 15 or more athletes, the earlier the better.
Do you come to our hotel or training ground?
Yes. We bring our own portable massage tables and all necessary equipment. We work in hotel rooms, meeting rooms, changing facilities, or outdoors. All we need is enough space and a power outlet.
What is the difference between sports massage and physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy tends to focus on diagnosis and rehabilitation of specific injuries. Sports massage, especially with ART®, focuses on soft tissue, muscles, tendons, fascia, and nerves. The two approaches complement each other very well. Alex worked in physiotherapy clinics in Sydney and understands how the two disciplines fit together.
Does Alex have experience with high-performance athletes?
Yes. Beyond his personal experience as a competitive triathlete, Alex has worked with professional and high-level amateur athletes in Sydney and the Algarve. He has experience with tour golfers, competitive cyclists, professional football players, and elite HYROX athletes.
